Amelia "Molly" Orabona, 97, of Fall River, passed away peacefully early Saturday morning, September 12, 2020 at Charlton Memorial Hospital after a period of declining health.

Born in Fall River, Massachusetts, she was a daughter of the late Luigi and Enrichetta (DiCorpo) Orabona.

After retiring from Lamport Manufacturing in 1973, she became a travel agent for Tours and Travel in Somerset for over 29 years. Molly traveled extensively and loved getting family and friends together for her special clamboils in Westport. She also had an affection for animals, especially for her dog, Pepper, and her two cats, Tammie and Allie.

Molly leaves many loving nieces and nephews. She was the sister of the late Guido, Robert, Fred, and Angelo Orabona, Inez Olson, and Virginia Fitzgibbons.

Molly's family would like to extend a special thanks to her dear friends and caretakers, Donna Coulombe Mackie and Mina Machado and also to Nicole and Kelly from Southcoast Hospice for the exceptional care she received during her final days.

Due to the COVID pandemic, Molly was laid to rest on Wednesday, September 16th, with a graveside service at Notre Dame Cemetery in Fall River. When the current crisis allows, her family is planning to celebrate her life with a Memorial Funeral Mass at a later date, which will be announced here.

In lieu of flowers, kindly consider a donation in Molly's memory to Forever Paws Animal Shelter, 300 Lynwood St., Fall River, MA 02721.
